I don't know about you, but I gave nothing back. I did decide to work less this football season to ensure I can use my season tix. Less pay for less work is not a giveback; I hope they have this option in the next contract. Wish I could have taken off the entire season, but the boss doesn't want me home THAT much...LOL...

Agreed. I did not give back anything. But I DID contribute huge to the MOU.
I was furloughed from a legacy, and had a front row seat for the collapse of our enormous contract. Back in those days, the management said, "We want you to
work the same amount,
for less pay."
This MOU is a very different deal:
"We want you to
work less, at the
same pay rate."
Two TOTALLY different worlds.
I'd much rather be in THIS world. This is a good deal. I'd also like to see this option in the next contract. This gives us more flexibility to trade money for time off, to enjoy our short lives.
